Between now and the year 2100 AD, people will find themselves in an increasing variety of environments:

1. Today’s 3D Earth
When The Shift occurs, those who are ready will move up into fourth density. Those who choose to be left behind will exist in third density (3D) until they pass on from that life. Reincarnation into 3D Earth will wind down and stop as the new planet will be the new host for 3D humans. The 3D Earth will wind down as a place for human residence and, after centuries of being unpopulated, that version of the Earth will be withdrawn from existence.

2. The ascended physical 4D Earth
The finer senses and finer matter of physical life in fourth density (4D) will usher in a new golden age of human creativity, peace and freedom. The age of 3D limitation will have become history. Living an ecological lifestyle in harmony with the Earth will be just the first step in the flowering of human potential in this less-dense, 4D environment.

3. The ascended afterlife
Just as physical people will move up with The Shift, so will the so-called ‘dead’ – people in the afterlife – who are ready be risen from their current sub-realm of fourth-density existence to the mid-to-upper regions of 4D. Those in the afterlife who are ready to shift will exist in a higher part of 4D than those in ascended physical bodies. Because the focus of the higher realms of 4D is spirituality, they will begin to experience an unprecedented renaissance of spiritual thought and action.

4. The unascended afterlife
Just as in 3D physicality, there will be those in the afterlife who do not wish to ascend into a higher realm. 4D consists of 12 sub-realms, which we can term 4:1 through 4:12. In the afterlife, people live in the sub-realm which most suits their chosen frequency of consciousness. Those who are not interested in higher consciousness are currently in the basic afterlife realm of 4:3, or in the lower astral realms of 4:1 and 4:2. As a general rule, most of those ready for The Shift in the afterlife currently live in 4:4. In The Shift, they will ascend initially to 4:6, vacating 4:4 for use by the incoming physical ascendees from 3D.

5. The new planet
The new planet, as viewed in the Mass Dreams of the Future project, has dome-covered cities for 3D physical humans while the atmosphere of this younger planet is being transformed for general habitation and development. Those who choose to move to the new planet will begin a new cycle of incarnations. A complete set of Earth-type human experience involves a time frame equivalent to a cosmic cycle of 26,000 Earth years. The full package involves experiencing 12 different astrological ages of 2,160 years each. Within each of these, all 12 personal birth signs are experienced in both roles as male and female. 12 times 12 times 2 is 288 – one complete set of 3D physical incarnations. After that, it’s time for another ‘harvest of souls,’ where they once again choose whether to ascend into heart-centered consciousness or repeat another cycle of 3D human experience.

6. Space explorers from 4D Earth
Many participants in the Mass Dreams of the Future project saw themselves exploring space travel and other planets. The space age has begun and such explorations will accompany the development of gravitational control and new propulsion systems.

The main difference in the above environments is that they all hinge on your decision to ascend with The Shift or stay behind in a world of conflict. The pressure is rising every year for us to resolve inner conflicts and rise in consciousness through unconditional love and forgiveness. The Shift may be a sudden transformation into a higher physical environment, but the decision to join it is being made every day as we prepare ourselves for spiritual transformation.

Daily spiritual practices are important, whether you practice meditation, world healing, or just focus on becoming centered within before the start of each new day.

These are the days of the harvest of souls. Spiritual connection and the healing and release of conflicts are vital to your spiritual health and your future happiness. These are the days when a kind heart is the gateway to the next stage of human development. Everything you do to help others make it through The Shift will be forever remembered in the records of life on Earth.
